Saturday night dinner, August 19, 2023?

[medtran49]

Asian noodle bowl. Craig wanted cellophane noodles so those are on the bottom. From 12 noon clockwise, Asian pork belly slices, baby bok choy, sautéed shiitaki, roasted red bell strips. Bean sprout salad in the middle. Purchased beef stock doctored up with fresh ginger and garlic, star anise, and a clove, with a tiny bit of sesame oil.

Lamejun with egg and lemon soup.

We had tacos for lunch, and then meal sized salads for dinner with a choice of thousand island, caesar, or tomato dressing. Salads: lettuce, broccoli, pickles, apples, tomatoes, braised soy beans, wheat berries.

Had to look Lamejun up. So basically a sort of pizza. Will have to try that.

I understand your calling it a pizza. It's a circle of dough covered with a topping. However, there's no cheese, no tomato sauce. It's a seasoned meat topping.

Breaded thin-cut chicken breast, lemon orzo, steamed baby spinach. A squirt of lemon for the chicken.

Of course. And I meant no offence. Sounds just my sort of thing though.

Was on the phone, forgot to eat. But the wine was tasty.

Making Pineapple Meatballs and Jasmine Rice. Had Arby's for lunch...very disappointing. Dinner will be much better!

DH was out for supper with a friend. I experimented with the microwave poaching of an egg. It worked well. Now, I just have to tweak the timing. A whole minute cooked the egg a bit more than I would have preferred. That one was in a Pyrex measuring cup. I did a second egg in a FireKing measuring cup. I only did that one for 50 seconds, but it was cooked even more. I think the slight difference in the shape of the cups might be what made the difference. The FireKing measuring cup is a bit narrower and taller than the Pyrex one.

Anyways, I had those two eggs and a couple of toasted, wholewheat English muffins. In spite of the eggs being a bit overcooked, I enjoyed that supper. I did have to have a snack later. It was couple of pieces of Wasa crisp rye bread with ham.

Wasn’t feeling well, a handful of meds, a PB&J ,and a glass of ice cold skim milk.

Feel better soon. Sleep can do wonders.

PB&J can work wonders too. Like Taxy said, I hope you feel better soon.

I wanted to finish up canning some salsa and lost track of time. I had two small sliders.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Thanks, Ladies!

Nothing serious, just a tired old diabetic that ran out of spoons.

 

[Kathleen]

I totally understand that. Glad to hear you replenished the spoons.

 

[Rascal]

Our big thing here I'd family meal dinner at ours. I cook for 10. Every sunday. Saturday your time.

[dragnlaw]

Hey Rascal, good to see you!
I remember you saying you do the big Sunday meal. I think that's great!

 

[Andy M.]

Of course. And I meant no offence. Sounds just my sort of thing though.

No offense taken, Katy. It's just a quick easy way to describe it in terms people are familiar with.

I assume y'all are familiar with pepper steak? Beef, green peppers, diced tomatoes, soy sauce and a few Italian herbs? Well, eye of round steak was $6.99/lb, and boneless chicken breast was $.99/lb. I made pepper chicken, as opposed to pepper steak. Shredded the chicken, actually. Not as good as pepper steak, but not bad at all.

I posted my Saturday night pizza in another (pizza) thread. It was good but I wanted a crispier crust. Tasted great but the texture wasn't. I'll try again another time.

That's a great price on that chicken!
